Probability that he chooses two different types of biscuits is 53.65 %.
What is probability?
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e. how likely they are to happen, using it.
Given
Total biscuits, n = 8
Digestive biscuits = 5
Chocolate biscuits = 3
There are two patterns to chose two different biscuits; a digestive then a chocolate or a chocolate and then a digestive.
∴ The probability of choosing a digestive then a chocolate
= [tex]\frac{5}{8}\times\frac{3}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{56}[/tex]
= 0.267
The probability of choosing chocolate and then a digestive.
= [tex]\frac{3}{8} \times\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{56}[/tex]
= 0.267
Hence, The combined probability
= [tex]\frac{15}{56}+ \frac{15}{56}[/tex]
= [tex]0.536[/tex]
= 53.6 5 %
Probability that he chooses two different types of biscuits is 53.65 %.
